...occasionally went without their paychecks and sometimes had to exist on $5 a day for expenses. Branigin complained: "You can't beat $2,000,000." Though Kennedy insisted that he had actually spent between $550,000 and $600,000, Rose Kennedy, in an interview with Women's Wear Daily, was cash-candid: "It's our own money, and we're free to spend it any way we please.
